Freedom from Automated Speed Enforcement Act of 2025

This bill would require the U.S. Secretary of Transportation to hold back 10 percent of certain federal highway funds from any state that does not certify each year that no jurisdiction in the state operates an automated speed enforcement system. The withholding would begin in fiscal years starting after September 30, 2026. An automated speed enforcement system is defined as a device that captures an image of a vehicle to issue a speeding citation without a law enforcement officer present. States could still use these systems in school zones during posted school hours and in active construction work zones that meet certain speed limit and signage conditions. The Secretary could audit or request documents to verify a state's certification.
